UHD1C272MHD6

The UHD1C272MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for general-purpose electronic applications. As part of Nichicon’s UHD series, it combines compact φ16×20 mm packaging with high ripple-current capability and low impedance characteristics across a wide frequency range.

This unit is polarized, rated for 16 V and 2700 µF (±20%), and is specified for continuous operation from −40°C to 105°C with a 5000-hour endurance at 105°C, making it suitable for designs that demand sustained performance and long operating life under elevated temperature and ripple conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 2700 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance / High Frequency Performance — UHD series design provides lower impedance at high frequency; documented high-frequency ripple current capability supports demanding decoupling applications.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.512 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.14 A (100 kHz) to support power rails with significant AC components.
• Leakage and Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 432 µA and tanδ (DF) of 0.18 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Robust Temperature and Endurance — Operating range from −40°C to 105°C with a life/endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Radial Package — Steel-can radial package, size φ16×20L with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), offered in bulk or bag packing for flexible assembly options.
• RoHS Compliant — Manufactured to meet RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and high ripple-current capability make it suitable for smoothing and filtering on DC power rails in general electronic designs.
• Decoupling in power converters — Low impedance and high-frequency ripple handling help stabilize switching regulators and power-conversion stages.
• Energy buffering for DC rails — 2700 µF capacitance provides local energy storage to support transient loads and maintain voltage stability.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current handling: 2.512 A at 120 Hz and 3.14 A at 100 kHz reduce stress on the capacitor in AC-loaded power rails.
• Low-impedance behavior at high frequency: Design emphasis on reduced impedance improves decoupling performance across a broad frequency span.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact radial form factor: φ16×20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides significant capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Measured electrical parameters: Specified tanδ (0.18 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and defined leakage current (432 µA) allow predictable behavior for circuit design and qualification.
• RoHS compliance: Manufacturing meets RoHS requirements for modern electronic product environmental standards.
